Some manufacturers offer a 100% charge in 20 minutes<\/strong>, which is incredible when compared to the time that it takes a normal charger, which, on average, could take up to one hour to fully charge a battery.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The batteries are made out of two chemical compounds that, when combined, generate the electricity needed to make the phone work.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n When the battery is connected to the electrical current, a reverse procedure is generated that allows the battery to store energy to be used later.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n What a quick charger does is to provide energy with more power than a standard charger to reduce the time that the process takes.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n For obvious reasons, this means that the unit of measure of the quick charger is higher than that of a common charger.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Even though most quick chargers<\/strong> have a unique logo that shows compatibility with this type of charge, it is well known that, as it tends to happen with technology, there are a wide variety of imitation devices.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n In other words, don\u2019t be fooled, and don\u2019t rely on just one source to check whether a device has quick charge.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n This information is found on the bottom part of the charger, or on the battery\u2019s label<\/em>. It is also found on the phone\u2019s manual.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n But let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll have the manual on hand since most of us assume that we know how to use a smartphone, and that we don\u2019t need to have the manual with us wherever we go.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n But don\u2019t worry. If the information is impossible to read on the charger\u2019s label, or if you don\u2019t have the manual on hand, you can look it up on the internet by typing the brand and the model.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Once you find the official source of the information, you need to verify the voltage and amperage. By law, this information should be visible on the charger.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The charge numbers on standard devices are of 5 volts and one or 1.5 amps. If you notice any higher numbers, this means that your charger and your mobile phone have the quick charge technology.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n If, for instance, the specifications state that the device has 9V and 2A, it is highly likely that your device has quick charge.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n As for how to check whether your mobile phone is compatible with quick charge, access the Android\u2019s settings section, then, select \u201cAbout - Battery,\u201d to check the battery\u2019s specifications.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n It is also possible to find this information on the back side of the mobile phone or on the manual, depending on the brand and the model of the phone.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The numbers are easy to check. Just look at the voltage and amperage that your mobile phone supports, and then check the charger to see the voltage and amperage that it provides. Both of these pair values should be the same.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n It is possible that you find modern chargers that automatically scan the mobile phone\u2019s configuration to adjust the charge to the correct values. This way, they protect your phone.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n We once again insist that you shouldn\u2019t trust in cheap chargers that supposedly have quick charge, which end up not having the capacity of detecting the mobile phone\u2019s configuration to provide the correct amount of charge, and could end up damaging the battery.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n On the following sections we will explain to you the different types of quick chargers that you can find on the market, as well as their features.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n With the need of being able to quickly charge the batteries of mobile phones, many alternatives from different manufacturers have appeared, which offer a solution in the least amount of time possible.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Even though there are general standards on the market, manufacturers tend to make alliances with phone brands to make their technologies compatible with their phones.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Some phone brands have opted for creating their own quick charge technology due to issues regarding exclusivity and marketing positioning.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Some of the most famous quick chargers on the market are those from Qualcomm, Samsung, Huawei, Apple, OPPO, OnePlus, and MediaTek<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n As we have previously mentioned, each one have their own proposal and technology to solve the need for quick charge.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Below, we will see in detail what the different manufacturers offer, and the differences among quick chargers according to the brand and the time required for a complete charge.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n We will compare the information from each manufacturer about the required time for a full charge, and we\u2019ll show the result from the highest amount of time to the lowest in a graph.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Note that this comparison is for the full charge. But still, there are a lot of brands that offer chargers that are fast enough to be able to charge a phone during the first 15 or 20 minutes.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n This is enough time for your mobile phone to be able to work for many hours, so that you\u2019ll be able to do all of your activities until the next full charge.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n MediaTek is the most used technology in mid-range phones and low-range phones. It offers a 70% charge in just 20 minutes, which is a big difference compared to conventional chargers.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The system works under the Quick Charge protocols from Qualcomm. And, to fully charge a battery, a period of time of 144 minutes is required.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The iPhone has a quick charge system under the USB Power Delivery standard, which requires the following specifications:<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Samsung provides its own fast charger, which uses the technology known as Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Among the quick chargers, this one is considered mid-range. It\u2019s not the fastest, but it\u2019s not the slowest either.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n To make a battery get a 100% charge, 150 minutes are required.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n This is probably the most known brand on the market. It is currently on version 4+.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n It promises to make a charge to make a battery last for five hours in just five minutes, and the battery\u2019s heat during charging is 5 degrees Celsius less than with conventional chargers.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n According to the technical specifications from this manufacturer, version 2.0 provides in 23 minutes a 59% charge, while version 3.0 provides a 66% charge. In comparison, a traditional charger provides a 17% charge in the same period of time.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The system is designed to decrease the charging speed after reaching 70% of the charge, so, to reach a full charge, the total amount of time needed is of 100 minutes.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\nHow quick charge works<\/h2>\r\n
